E2: Can't Write Bitmap
ERROR | E2 | Material Translator | Export Embedded Bitmap | <Color, Transparency, Bump> bitmap used in <material> not found; FAILURE Writing <image> to disk....
- Select the Material in the Materials palette.
- In the Material Parameters palette, select the 'Shaded' representation, then appropriate channel tab (Color, Transparency, or Bump)
- Click on the folder icon, then select the image resource from your file system again (even if you already see the correct file and thumbnail image displayed)
E3: Object Error
ERROR | E3 | EditObjectAttributes | Object | <object> <Layer Path> <Group Path>...
- Use formZ's Select by Criteria palette and search for objects with [ERR] in their names. (The Maxwell plugin adds the [ERR] text so you can easily locate problematic objects. You can both disable this feature, and remove the error tags, if you wish.)
- Select formZ's Map Texture tool. Click anywhere in the modeling window to remap the problematic objects.
- If the error still occurs after this step, try formZ's Object Doctor tool on the objects.
- If the error still occurs after this step, ghost the objects so they won't be considered for export.
